I generally sail in the longer races but would enjoy the esprit de corps of your team challenges.

Re: Colours

Board >> General Discussion

One suggestion that I had made earlier in another thread somewhere (Technical Issues) relating to the tracks of other boats and their day/night visibility.

The ability to invert the colour of all tracks via an either/or toggled radio button.

There may be a more elegant method to make all tracks visible in all conditions but I felt my suggestion would accomplish the most with the least amount of work.

Currently the leader & your own tracks are automatically displayed with the ability to select one other boat. Would it be possible to select 2 boats aside from the leader & your own to highlight in case you wanted to follow a head to head competition that you are not involved in ?

Re: Polar for First 40.7

Board >> General Discussion

SOL Polars are representative for the TWS given in the game. There is no need or distinction for Apparent Wind formulation. Another way to look at it is the compensation is built into the Polars as given.

Windquest a MaxZ86 in the Turbo section.

The main rival to Beau Geste (Hong Kong) although there was some kind of transponder problem during the Port Huron - Mackinac Race onboard Windquest.

Re: Rabbit Start

Board >> Races

This only confirms what I have suspected for some time now, the sol boat is faster than regular boats.

I accept the role as proposed & will preside over the next rabbit start to be held in 1 week on the Chi-Mac course at the usual time. (7/20/2010, 18:00 utc)

This will allow the race to be conducted during local daylight conditions.

The course will be an AC style format,
3 upwind/downwind legs, the distance between the marks to be determined by the available wind to allow the event to be completed in the desired nominal time.

Re: Great Circle Route

Board >> General Discussion

The Rhumb Line shown in the Game and the DTG are less reliable as to accuracy relative to your best route & actual distance needed to cover it. That takes some experience to gauge and should be considered a rough approximation but as the race evolves it does improve.

I would only Trust the DTG if you are the sort of person who waits for your fuel gauge to get to the 'E' before you look for a gas station.
